The Foreign Ministry said the “extrajudicial killing” of Hizbul Muajahideen leader Burhan Wani “and scores of other innocent Kashmiris” violated the fundamental human rights of Kashmiris.

This, a statement from the ministry said, “cannot deter the people of Jammu and Kashmir from their demand for the realisation of the right to self determination”.

It said a resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute was only possible by the “realisation of the right to self determination of the people, as per UN resolutions, through a fair and impartial plebiscite”.

The statement followed the Friday killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani, which triggered widespread clashes between government forces and pro-buchan demonstrators leaving at least 17 people dead.
